Drone attack on Pskov: in ISW ​​explained why in Russia did not work aircraft

According to American analysts, air defense systems are now mainly defended by the capital region of the Russian Federation, so the Russians were not ready to strike drones in the Pskov region. In the Russian Federation, they probably concentrated air defense in the Moscow region, which is why a large number of drones were able to attack the airfield in Pskov. This is stated in the report of the Institute of War Study (ISW) of 30 August.

According to analysts, Pskov was attacking a large number of drones. At the same time, the air defense system did not work in the city, causing harm to Russian aircraft. According to Russian bloggers, more than 20 UAVs were involved in the attack. The authors of the report indicated that on the same day, the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobiangin, reported the reflection of drones of drones in the Central Federal District, which does not include the Pskov region.

According to him, at least one drone moved towards the capital of the Russian Federation. American analysts have suggested that the Russians were preparing for an attack on Moscow or Moscow region, so this region was better protected. "The Russian forces may have concentrated their air defense on the cover of Moscow and somehow did not notice an unusually large number of Ukrainian drones," - summed up in ISW.

We will remind, on the night of August 30 in the territory of the Russian Federation, in the city of Pskov, explosions were raised in the area of ​​local airport. The explosions were also heard in Moscow, Ryazan, Kaluga, Orel, Bryansk and Pskov regions of Russia. At the same time, the invaders declared attack of drones on the Sevastopol bay.
